Services Offered
Our medical weight loss programs begin with comprehensive medical evaluation including detailed laboratory analysis to identify hormonal imbalances, metabolic disorders, and other medical factors affecting weight management. We offer the latest FDA-approved weight loss medications including GLP-1 receptor agonists, traditional appetite suppressants, and combination therapies tailored to each patient's specific needs and medical history. All medications are prescribed and monitored by experienced physicians who specialize in weight management. Our services include regular body composition analysis using advanced DEXA scanning technology, nutritional counseling with registered dietitians, and behavioral modification coaching to address emotional eating patterns. We provide continuous glucose monitoring for diabetic patients and blood pressure management for those with hypertension.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with an extensive medical consultation including complete physical examination, detailed health history, and comprehensive lab work including metabolic panels, hormone levels, and nutritional assessments. Based on these results, our physician develops a personalized treatment plan that may include prescription medications, medical monitoring, and specialized nutritional protocols.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled every 2-4 weeks initially to monitor progress, adjust medications, and address any side effects or concerns. We track multiple health markers beyond just weight, including blood pressure, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and body composition changes. Most patients begin experiencing results within 2-4 weeks, with significant improvements typically occurring over 3-6 months. Our long-term maintenance program helps patients sustain their weight loss with ongoing medical support and program adjustments.
Why Choose Niagara Wheatfield Medical Weight Loss Services
As a clinic dedicated exclusively to medical weight loss, we offer unparalleled expertise and focus in this specialized area of medicine. Our physicians have extensive experience with the newest weight loss medications and stay current with the latest research in obesity medicine. Unlike general practice physicians who see weight loss as one of many conditions, we specialize entirely in helping patients overcome weight-related health challenges.
Our comprehensive approach addresses not just weight loss but the improvement of overall health markers and quality of life. We provide the medical supervision necessary for safe, effective weight loss while addressing underlying conditions that may have prevented success with other methods. Our personalized care ensures that each patient receives treatment tailored to their specific medical needs, lifestyle, and goals.
Insurance & Pricing
We work with most major insurance providers, and many of our services are covered when medically necessary for treating obesity and related health conditions. Initial consultations, follow-up visits, and lab work are typically covered services. Some newer weight loss medications may require prior authorization or have varying coverage levels. Out-of-pocket costs for medications can range from $200-600 monthly depending on the specific treatments prescribed and insurance coverage. We provide transparent pricing information and work with patients to find the most cost-effective treatment options while maintaining clinical effectiveness.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your initial visit, gather all current medications, supplement lists, and any recent medical records or lab work from other providers. Fast for 12 hours before your appointment if lab work is scheduled. Bring a detailed history of previous weight loss attempts, including what worked and what didn't. Be prepared to discuss your eating patterns, exercise habits, and weight-related health concerns openly and honestly.
Understand that medical weight loss is a gradual process that prioritizes safety and sustainability over rapid results. Follow all medication instructions precisely and report any side effects immediately to our medical team. Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments - consistent monitoring is crucial for both safety and effectiveness. Be patient with the process while staying committed to the program recommendations. Most patients see steady progress over several months rather than dramatic changes in the first few weeks.
